Reconexão de espaços degradados à cidade por meio da reconversão de uso de vazios industriais : o caso do IV distrito de Porto Alegre

Costa, Gustavo Sbardelotto da January 2015 (has links)
As cidades possuem grande dificuldade em lidar com espaços que perderam significado devido às mudanças decorrentes do seu próprio desenvolvimento, sejam elas sociais, políticas, econômicas ou culturais. A maior incidência destes locais na cidade contemporânea é em zonas outrora industriais, que sofreram o processo de desindustrialização. Muitas cidades no mundo têm se organizado a planejarem‐se de uma forma ampliada, colocando seus projetos em ação por meio de novas formas de governar. Estas incluem novas formas de articulações que são criadas em combinação entre os setores público e privado, e organizadas por meio de um planejamento estratégico. Entretanto, mesmo estas articulações público‐privadas e grandes planejamentos são, por muitas vezes, complexos de serem colocados em prática em países em desenvolvimento, como é o caso do Brasil. Vemos alguns casos que diferem destes planejamentos e ocorrem por meio de atitudes menos ortodoxas. São experiências que não esperam por um planejamento formal do governo ou de suas articulações e começam a se organizar para a ocupação de zonas em subutilização. O primeiro modelo destas experiências demonstrado neste trabalho ocorre pelo pioneirismo de empreendedores da iniciativa privada que se antecipam às tendências mercadológicas e apostam na ocupação de imóveis em zonas industriais degradadas. Estes pioneiros reconhecem o potencial destas zonas ricas em infraestrutura urbana, próximas a locais nos quais existe vitalidade e investem grandes montantes de capital onde a grande maioria dos empreendedores ainda não cogita investir. Usualmente, há uma tendência de outros empreendedores ocuparem estas áreas ao verificarem o sucesso dos primeiros empreendimentos. Cada novo empreendimento acaba gerando um núcleo de revitalização que vai se diluindo pelo entorno até a zona estar completamente revitalizada. O exemplo da revitalização do MEATPACKING DISTRIC em Nova York ilustrará o caso, com o reforço de um projeto de rearquitetura de uma antiga infraestrutura ferroviária, transformada um parque que funciona como catalisador deste processo de revitalização. Na antiga zona industrial de Porto Alegre, denominada 4º distrito, o estudo de caso da antiga Fábrica FIATECI, transformada em um complexo de uso misto, indica uma tendência à revitalização da zona nos moldes acima descritos. O segundo modelo ocorre com a verificação das necessidades da comunidade ou de um despertar criativo de alguns grupos, assim, surgem práticas que podem ser caracterizadas como “bottom‐up”, ou de baixo para cima. Os exemplos da ocupação de uma antiga indústria em Portugal, e outra no Rio de Janeiro, transformada em dois parques criativos, nos quais se mantêm totalmente as características industriais do contexto e inserem-se atividades ligadas à economia criativa, comprovam as potencialidades destas ações. Igualmente, no 4º distrito de Porto Alegre, surge, por meio de um grupo de atores da área criativa, a iniciativa de reutilização fora dos padrões imobiliários de um antigo e deteriorado conjunto edificado que serviu de moradia de aluguel para os funcionários das fábricas da região. A proposta do grupo é a reciclagem de uso do conjunto de forma a agrupar comércio local, moradia temporária e salas comerciais ligadas à área criativa com zonas de convivência comuns. De modo geral, servirá como núcleo revitalizador desta antiga zona industrial. A fim de angariar fundos para a viabilização do projeto, que não vem alavancado por alguma incorporadora, por tratar‐se de um tipo de empreendimento que, aos olhos empresariais, não é altamente rentável, os idealizadores do projeto já iniciaram a utilização do espaço, mesmo em precárias condições, a fim de envolver a comunidade de modo cativo ao projeto. As atividades ocorrem de maneiras variadas a fim de apropriarem‐se do espaço de maneira semipública, abrindo os jardins para quem circula e, logo, criarem urbanidade para o entorno. Este modelo serve como laboratório social para experimentação de usos e soluções que porventura poderão ser incorporados ao projeto quando finalizado. Esta é uma nova forma de intervenção que parte do pressuposto de que a utilização do espaço possa moldá‐lo. A intenção deste trabalho é demonstrar alternativas criativas e novas possibilidades para, de uma forma sustentável, reconstruir a cidade dentro da cidade. / Cities have great difficulty in dealing with spaces that have lost meaning due to changes resulting from its own development, whether social, political, economic or cultural. The highest incidence of these sites in the contemporary city is in formerly industrial areas, which suffered deindustrialization process. Many cities in the world has been organized in a way to plan it in a broad way, putting their projects into action through new ways of governing. These include new forms of joints that are created in combination of public and private sector and organized through a strategic planning. However, even these public-private joint and big plans are often complex by being put into practice in developing countries, such as Brazil. We see some of these cases differ from planning and occur through less orthodox attitudes. These are experiences that do not wait for a formal planning of the government or its joints and begin to organize to occupy zones in underutilization. The first model of these experiments demonstrated in this work takes place through the pioneering entrepreneurs of the private sector that anticipate market trends and betting on real estate occupancy in brownfield areas. These pioneers recognize the potential of these areas of high urban infrastructure, close to the places where there is vitality and invest large amounts of capital where the vast majority of entrepreneurs still do not consider investments. Usually there is a tendency of other entrepreneurs occupy these areas when considering the success of the first projects. Each new venture ends up generating a revitalization core that will dilute the surrounding area to be completely revitalized. The example of the revitalization of MEATPACKING DISTRIC in New York illustrate the case, with the strengthening of a re-architecture design of an old railway infrastructure, transformed a park that acts as a catalyst of this revitalization process. In the old industrial area of Porto Alegre, called 4th district the case study old FIATECI Factory, transformed into a complex of mixed use, indicates a tendency to revitalize the area in the above described manner. The second model is a verification of community needs or a creative awakening of some groups, there are practices that can be characterized as "bottom-up", or from the bottom up. Examples of the occupation of an old industry in Portugal, and another in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, transformed into two creative parks where fully maintain the industrial characteristics of the context and forms part of activities related to the creative economy proves the potential of these actions. Also, in the 4th District of Porto Alegre district, comes across a group of actors in the creative area, a reuse initiative out real state patterns of an old and deteriorated group of buildings that served as rental housing for employees of factories in the region. The group's proposal is recycling use of the set so as to local shops, temporary housing and commercial space connected to the creative area with common use areas. This project, generally, will serve as revitalizing core of this former industrial site. In order to raise funds for the viability of the project, which is not leveraged by any developer because it is a type of business that is not highly profitable for big investors, the creators of the project have already started the use of space, even in poor conditions in order to involve the community to the project. Activities take place in various ways in order to people to appropriate the space: opening the gardens for pedestrians and hence create urbanity for the surroundings. This model serves as a social laboratory for experimentation of uses and solutions that perhaps could be incorporated into the project when it is completed. This is a new form of intervention assumes that the use of space can mold it. The intention of this work is to demonstrate creative alternatives and new possibilities for sustainably rebuild the city within the city.

Urban church, re-developing space within Pretoria's Schubart Park complex

Swart, Johan 09 December 2010 (has links)
The study investigates the development of church infrastructure within the urban environment. A symbiotic interaction between church form and urban conditions is proposed and contextualised through analysis of existing church models and current spatial concerns within Pretoria’s inner-city. The potential of church as agent for urban renewal and community development is identified and the study generates a spatial and programmatic model aligned with the inner-city’s need for meaningful and integrated interventions. A systemic definition of church proposes a multi-layered programme based on partnership and interaction while alternative church positioning suggests the concept of re-claiming inner-city spaces, applied through the re-development of the Schubart Park housing complex. AFRIKAANS : Hierdie studie ondersoek die ontwikkeling van kerk infrastruktuur in die stedelike omgewing. ‘n Simbiotiese interaksie tussen kerkvorm en stedelike kondisies word voorgestel en gekontekstualiseer deur analise van bestaande kerk modelle en ruimtelike kwessies in die middestad van Pretoria. studie identifiseer die potensiaal van kerk as agent vir stedelike hernuwing en gemeenskapsontwikkeling en vervolgens word n ruimtelike en programmatiese model in lyn gestel met die middestad se tekort aan betekenisvolle en geintegreerde ingrypings. Sistemiese definisie van kerk stel n gelaagde program voor gebasseer op vennootskap en interaksie terwyl alternatiewe plasing van die hergebruik van stedelike ruimtes voorstel wat toegepas word deur die herontwikkeling van die Schubart Park behuisings kompleks. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted

The role of co-operatives in North End Winnipeg's urban revitalization

Intertas, Mark Aurelio 06 January 2017 (has links)
The North End is one of the most colourful areas in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Plagued by urban decay, the North End is a melting pot of cultures and catch basin for many marginalized people. In the face of adversity, people unite under similar ideals and principles to work towards common goals. This unity is exemplified in co-operatives, which has been in the North End for decades. Co-ops exhibited outstanding camaraderie with the goal of alleviating adverse social conditions. Today, the co-op sector, exemplified by Pollock’s Hardware and Urban Eatin’ Landscapes, continue to operate in the area like conventional business, while practicing social and environmental responsibility under a common set of principles. Due to their ideologies and principles, their impact on neighbourhood and community revitalization is more profound than expected. Through case studies, this research found that co-ops offer urban planners and government officials a complimentary method to conventional urban revitalization methods. Co-operative Urban Revitalization starts by uniting marginalized people and empowering them to devise solutions to social and economic problems. / February 2017

Freedom of Interpretation

Ivanov, Georgi 11 May 2012 (has links)
The photographic series Ideal Cities that I started in 2011 is inspired by the conflict between my idea of the “west” and my evolving experience in the United States. What struck me was the popularity of what I see as model experience – a spatial experience controlled by the Spectacle. In the terms of the Situationist International and its most prominent figure Guy Debord, the Spectacle is the collapse of reality into the streams of images, products and activities sanctioned by centralized monopolist business or state bureaucracy. Thus, personal experience is replaced with preconceived notions, which control the way people perceive and understand their surroundings.
